Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026.
Only two places made it. We could confirm Sweet Lulu’s in Keilor and Brimbank Park in Keilor East at two independent sources, and we have not padded the list with anything weaker.
The status of each is different. Sweet Lulu’s carries a Pet Friendly tag from the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG), which is a listing flag and not a statement from the cafe. Brimbank Park has a Parks Victoria rule: dogs on a leash at all times, and not everywhere. Read the rules first, then pick. Bring bags.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Cafe listed as pet friendly | Sweet Lulu’s | 676 Old Calder Highway, Keilor |
| Dogs on lead, cafe in the park | Brimbank Park | Keilor Park Drive, Keilor East |
Sweet Lulu’s — 676 Old Calder Highway, Keilor VIC 3036
Status: AGFG tags Sweet Lulu’s as Pet Friendly. That is AGFG’s feature flag, not a dogs-welcome statement from the cafe, and we found no website of its own to confirm it. AGFG also lists Alfresco Dining and, for hours, Mon-Fri 7:30-5:00, Saturday 7:30-3:30 and Sunday 8:30-3:30, so treat those as listed hours and check before you go.
Inside or outside only: The listing does not say, so ask the cafe before taking a dog in; AGFG’s Alfresco Dining tag suggests outdoor seating exists.
Brimbank Park — Keilor Park Drive, Keilor East VIC 3033
Status: Parks Victoria says dogs are permitted in many areas at Brimbank Park and must be kept on a leash at all times. Dogs are not allowed within the Kulin Wetlands and playgrounds. The park is open every day from 6.00am, closing at 5.30pm AEST and 8.00pm during daylight savings, per Parks Victoria. It also lists over 10km of tracks, and its page warns that snakes are active at the park.
Off-leash status: None listed; the park says leash at all times, and the page we read does not say whether dogs may use the cafe seating, so ask there.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 4 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the Australian Good Food Guide, government pages and council pages. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
